  1. Hi! :D my friend and i are interested in going to sagada and we’ve been researching the net. i think your site is one of the most informative sites I’ve seen about sagada! :D we haven’t finalized our decision yet, but i would like to ask about this itinerary, is it also possible if we pass by banaue to sagada or sagada to banaue to manila?! because I’d love to see the banaue rice terraces on the way, you can’t visit the world’s 8th wonder everyday! :D Thanks so much for your help! :D

  2. @katzchupoy, actually you can add Banaue. It was originally Manila-Baguio-Sagada-Bontoc-Banaue-Manila (my 2006 trip), but I made some editing on the day 4, to make it Manila-Baguio-Sagada-Baguio-Manila(my 2007 trip). But I find Banaue as anti-climax of my entire Sagada experience, so I wouldn’t prefer it being your destination after Sagada. But I like the idea of Banaue first before Sagada.

  5. Hello Visit Sagada people!

    We closely followed this itinerary! We even searched for Mang’s Cuisine which has a new name now.

    We even browsed the net on our way to Baguio just to confirm everything here in your site – which is very helpful. I got the numbers of GGH and Residential Lodge here which made reservations very hassle-free.

    Even our tour guide knows your site. Keep it up! :)

  9. Hi,

    I’m going back to Sagada this 3rd week of May, it is my sixth visit to Sagada. I want to meet the people behind SAGGA, I think they are cool. I want to try the food at Lemon Pie House and meet the owner. Never been to Mt. Ampacao, how many hours will it takes to reach the peak? tnx

    Comment by Ricky Renido — April 24, 2008 @ 11:20 pm

  10. According to the accounts I’ve read, it shouldn’t take more than 3 hours. :)

  15. Hello! Our May 19-23 Sagada trip is already next week. Kumusta naman po ang weather sa Sagada? We just want to be prepared and know what to expect.

    Thanks again!

    Comment by JC — May 16, 2008 @ 6:21 pm

  16. JC, we really cant tell from now. Let just hope that the weather will be fine on that week, but as PAGASA officially announced, rainy season is already here.

    Comment by Angel — May 17, 2008 @ 6:47 pm

  17. It is still safe to travel to Sagada despite the rains, right? :o )

    Thanks again.

    Comment by JC — May 20, 2008 @ 8:42 pm

  18. Yes, it is. I haven’t heard of any untoward incident since I’ve bothered to check.

    Comment by Benj — May 21, 2008 @ 4:14 am

  19. Hello there, we’re planning to go up there in Sagada this June 6-9. May I ask which is the safer road to travel, is it via Baguio or via Banaue. Thanks

    Comment by Teri — May 26, 2008 @ 12:52 pm

  20. Hi!…if we leave manila around 10:30pm or 11:00 pm, what time we will arrive in sagada? Are the time of arrivals in day 2 accurate? Because we are planning to go Cave connection in the afternoon on our first day in Sagada. Is this possible?

    Comment by Robert — May 28, 2008 @ 9:12 am

  21. If you leave Manila by 11PM, you will reach Baguio around 4AM-5AM the next day, then catch the 6AM bus to Sagada, you will be in Sagada around noon. You can go caving afternoon on your first day, that was exactly what I did.

    Comment by Angel — May 28, 2008 @ 10:42 am

  22. Hello there! I will be in Sagada on June 19-22. I will be leaving Manila at 5 am to Baguio then take the last trip to Sagada at 1 PM. Is it possible? I have been visiting your site and it is very helpful. I already booked a room in Residential Lodge.

    I will be travelling alone. Is it safe? I’m really excited.

    Please give me some tips. Is there a group that will be on tour on that week? I want to join them.

    Thanks for the help. You have got a great site here.
    By the way, how’s the weather on that week? Is my trip schedule okay?

    Thanks so much.

    Comment by amy — June 15, 2008 @ 1:36 am

  23. Hello! My friends and I are planning to bring our own ride. Do you have a map that could help lead us to the right roads from manila-baguio-sagada or is there a shorter, better way in going there? We’re all just newbies to the place.
    I enjoyed reading the site. You guys are so informative. Keep it up!

    Comment by Conrad — June 24, 2008 @ 3:54 pm

  26. Hi, can you also post information on how to get to Sagada from Laoag/Vigan? That would really be helpful as I plan my September trip to Sagada. Thanks!

    Comment by Michelle — July 12, 2008 @ 5:05 pm

  27. Hello.. your Itinerary is very useful. Can I ask how much budget you spent on going to sagada

    Comment by jjay — August 27, 2008 @ 11:43 am

  28. I’m planning to go to Sagada with my special someone. Do you think we’ll enjoy it? Okay lang ba na dalawa lang kami for the tour in case wala kaming makitang pwedeng makasama sa trekking, etc? How much would it cost us kung dalawa lang kami? Thanks.

    Comment by Arjae — October 9, 2008 @ 5:22 pm

  29. Yup, that would work. :) Sightseeing/touring may set you back a little over a thousand (for the two of you) if you’re going to do sightseeing/caving and the big falls.

    Comment by Benj — October 12, 2008 @ 9:28 am

  30. I am going to sagada on Oct 16. then going back to baguio. The site is very informative but can you give a suggestion or advised/ itenerary that would helped me to roma/enjoy sagada in 2 days? thank you in advance!!!

  31. Does the bus in Baguio Dangwa Station still have daily trips to Sagada that leave at 5:30AM? Or is it just on certain days of the week? Thanks.

    Comment by Cricket — October 16, 2008 @ 11:18 am

  36. how much have you spent on this itinerary? I’m planning to go there by early december and i would like to plan on my budget. thanks!!!

    Comment by jevay — November 3, 2008 @ 1:37 pm

  37. Oh! Budget! Budget! Okay let’s make a rough estimate, 1500 for transpo, 800 for the meals, 1000 for the budget (400 for cave connection, 400 for rock climbing, extra 300 for others), 400 for the accomodation: Total ~P3200. So I think 3500-4000 is a safe budget for a 3D/2N nights in Sagada.

    Comment by Angel — November 3, 2008 @ 4:37 pm

  38. Hi Angel! I’ll be going to Sagada on Nov 27-30.
